Pharmaceutical Chemistry CoursesFor Distribution Requirement purposes, all PHC courses are classified as SCIENCE courses except for PHC470H1, which is a SOCIAL SCIENCE course. |
|
PHC 300Y1 The molecular basis for the action of drugs is presented based upon
the physicochemical nature of the drug and its target. PHC 320H1 Modern discovery and synthesis of antibiotics, antineoplastics, antiviral
and other therapeutic agents. PHC 330Y1 The study of the science and technology underlying drug delivery
are covered. The properties of different dosage forms and delivery routes
are studied
with an emphasis on oral and parenteral routes.
The scientific basis and practical techniques relevant to modern
pharmaceutical development. PHC401H1 The goal of this course is to provide students with knowledge of the molecular processes involved in drug transport across biological cell membranes with emphasis on their physiological and clinical significance.
Introduction to controlled drug delivery: Mechanisms and kinetics of
controlled drug release. Fundamental theories and mathematical tools for the
design
of modern dosage forms. Development and applications of controlled drug
delivery dosage forms.
In-depth discussion of implementation of pharmaceutical sciences in drug
development strategies. Students will apply fundamental principles of
pharmaceutics and drug delivery to current problems in the pharmaceutical industry.
Overview of methods of pharmaceutical analysis such as titrations, UV-visible,
IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy, fluorescence, HPLC, GC, TLC, electrophoresis,
blotting, immunoassays and radiometric methods. Regulatory aspects
of drug product quality control are covered. Introduces applications in
pharmacy,
therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, forensic science, athletics
and clinical laboratory medicine.
Presents use of radiopharmaceuticals in diagnosis and therapy, emphasizing
those used in nuclear medicine procedures studying neurological,
cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, haematologic, endocrine and bone
pathology.
Introduces nuclear pharmacy through the discussion of problems that
explain the design, production, analysis, and the clinical use
of radiopharmaceuticals. Topics introduced using group discussions and laboratory
exercises.
Lectures by scientists from academia and industry, and student seminars
based on journal articles dealing with strategies for discovering
new drugs for
therapy and diagnosis.
Introduces drug development from the perspective of the pharmaceutical
industry. Describes key stages in drug development process;
current issues facing industry
and role of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists in the
process. Lectures are given by specialists employed in the pharmaceutical
industry and concepts
covered in the lectures will be applied to in-class case studies.
Introduces concepts and issues in international pharmaceutical
policy. Emphasis placed on how governments in different jurisdictions
manage
their public
health responsibilities, international obligations, and pressure
from special interest groups in terms of pharmaceutical policy.
This course will provide research experience under the supervision
of a Departmental staff member. The goal is to deepen the
student’s understanding of the scientific basis and practical techniques relevant to modern pharmaceutical development. |
